A comparison between before and after the change would be nice, can
you share those numbers?


With this version of the patch, quickly completing commands do 3-4 loops
on
my hardware.  I measured command completion in 0.5-1ms.


For long running discard operarations, like a full-device secure
discard,
this change drops the interrupt rates on my single-core NXP I.MX6UL from
45000/s to <1000/s, and greatly improves system responsiveness.


Still, ~1000/s is quite high, especially if it is for doing nothing. :-).


This version does about 20 additional interrupts per second.

The patch follows:



This drastically reduces the rate at which the MMC_SEND_STATUS cmd polls
for completion of the MMC Erase operation.  The patch does this by adding
a backoff sleep that starts by sleeping for short intervals (128-256us),
and ramps up to sleeping for 32-64ms.

Even on very quickly completing erase operations, the loop iterates a few
times, so not too much extra latency is added to these commands.

For long running discard operarations, like a full-device secure discard,
this change drops the interrupt rates on my single-core NXP I.MX6UL from
45000/s to about 20/s, and greatly improves system responsiveness.


Impressive. I don't have a single core platform at hand now, but manual
unplug other cpus on my high-end platform with 32GB eMMC, shows your
patch works fine wrt. the interrupt and the perf tool also shows it
relinquish CPU sanely after doing erase.

Btw, I was CCing you to my patchset and could you kindly help test it? I
guess we might rebase your excellent work based on my trival cleanup
patchset.

Martin, Shawn,

Actually, I don't think the "cleanup" pointed out by Shawn above is
trivial, rather also very nice work which improves polling for other
situations as well. Honestly, I think we are going to iterate that
series a few times before we apply it.

That said, I think Martins changes here are ready and should improve
polling for erase. Thus I decided to apply his latest version for
next. Shawn, I hope that shouldn't cause you that much trouble to
re-base on top, right!?


Don't worry. Given the merge window is coming soon, I think my series
should be intended for v4.19, so I need re-base it anyway, and probably
carry on integrating Martin's work into new mmc_poll_for_busy().

Kind regards
Uffe
